Coggeshall's historic buildings demand rewiring work of the highest standard. Many properties here have wiring that has been in place for decades, threaded through medieval timber frames and plaster infill. A rewire needs to bring these homes up to modern safety standards while preserving their irreplaceable heritage.
Rewires for Coggeshall Properties
Timber-framed buildings require specialist approaches to rewiring. We route cables through the frame structure, using available voids and channels without cutting into historic timbers. The infill panels and plasterwork are treated with equal care. The result is a modern, safe installation that respects centuries of building history.
